Corona anyone?

LOL.

I got to thinking - you know idle mind and all.

How are sales of Corona beer these days?  What with the Chinese malady being labeled coronavirus.

Is there a virus in the bottle baby?   No crooner can make this shit up.

What can Mcafee do?  Such questions come to mind.  Is there any intel inside?

Coronavirus is just another genetic mutation that uncontrolled human growth begat for its brethren as it is wont to do time and again.  Few of our species will die as yet another microorganism takes control for a period of time until human ingenuity quashes its spread.  And the two football stadium sized hospitals that China is standing up in record time to house what it thinks will be thousands of patients.

Meantime people are freaking out. From global stocks to local clinics and chat groups the phrase has lit up emotion and runs to the clinic.

I was surprised to see an article actually claiming some of our species think that the virus is in fact related to the beer that is owned by Constellation brands.  LOL.  Top selling beer brands is now in jeopardy of having to rebuild its image from sunny beaches and semi nude volleyball playing girls that suddenly don't look so hot anymore.

If they do it's because they have the fever caused by the virus in the bottle.  It takes the crown.

A few good books

 On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...

Back in DC

This time for a tech conference in the realm of what else? AI. But applied to an oft neglected space called Knowledge Management. The latter is a community of practice that focuses on analyzing, organizing and making available reams of data that have been gathered over time by various functions within an organization for anyone in the company to utilize. This function or process is ripe for applying AI agents (or agentic AI framework) and optimize for better outcomes. It was informative. More rewarding was getting acquainted with folks who practice this craft as well as learning of what they see in the corporate or public sectors. Since the venue was Washington DC it also afforded me the chance to take evening strolls albeit the weather was trying. With wind chill in the single digit it still is a glamorous place to perambulate through history absorbing what this country has been through since its founding days. I was able to visit the place Lincoln was killed along with his monument t...

Costa Rica

 Our first foray into Central America. That elongated isthmus that forms the geographic boundary between two vast continents of North and South America. Specifically landing for NYE 2026 in San Jose, Costa Rica. Capital city for this region that does not have its own army, instead relying on its big bro the Estados Unidos to the north is a metropolis of approx. 500K people. Largely wilderness and with both a Pacific and Carribean/Atlantic coast the country is rich in bio diversity. In Spanish it means the rich coast so named by Columbus landing in early 16th century and being mesmerized by the local tribes sporting gold jewelry.   Our stay included visiting the foothills of a large strato volcano called Arenal and enjoying the naturally heated thermal baths for a while.  Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...
